  • Alma White College was founded in 1917 in Zarephath, New Jersey, and closed in 1978. It was the college for the Pillar of Fire Church and was founded by Alma Bridwell White. The college's building was then occupied by the Zarephath Bible Institute; it suffered heavy damage in 1999 from flooding on the Raritan River, which crested at ten feet above its banks following more than ten inches (254 mm) of rain from Hurricane Floyd. In the early 2000s the school was resurrected under the name Somerset Christian College. In 1923 the Ku Klux Klan provided funding for the school, allowing it to become "the second institution in the north avowedly run by the Ku Klux Klan to further its aims and principles. " Alma White said that the Klan philosophy "will sweep through the intellectual student classes as through the masses of the people. " At that time, the Pillar of Fire was publishing the pro-KKK monthly periodical The Good Citizen.
